283 mi hwy, 52.6% city; some driving around town with ss; 44.7 MFI--might have filled a bit more than usual since pump was very slow, so mpg could have been a bit higher maybe?

head wind for about 2/3 way to St. Louis, then tail wind. MFI was 47.5mpg, so this seems low (should have been around 45.5?)--maybe took a bit more than usual.

a bit high mpg, since last tank was filled more than usual, so took less to fill this one. MFD said 44.5, so should have been more like 42.5 or so.

strong cross wind near end, some rain, some traffic; mpg seems too high--nozzle went in farther than usual, so cut off earlier--should have been maybe 49.5 or low 50 max (MFD said 51.4 with range of 20 left); next tank should be lower than expected; this tank from Pilot in VA; this fill at Pilot in Little Rock--pump said B5-B20

Fuel gauge needle was halfway on red zone to empty; MFD said 20 miles left. Should have taken at least another gallon. What happened? Possible: 1) Fuel gauge is wrong? Not likely, since mpg seems too high for 75% city--it should be more around 40mpg or even less. 2) Fuel foamed? Could be, since happened before at this pump. But, last time uses same pump topping off was fine. Put in 14.358 gallons on July 19 at same pump. Now, topping off too, it was only 12.69. Could see fuel, not bubbles. Waited long time and barely went down, still in filler neck. Maybe bubbles inside pushing fuel up??? 3) Valero pump put out more fuel than it said??? I already added 1.3 gallons after the first pump shut off, which is around what it would usually take.
